While broadband is always better (although there are sometimes problems using a WiFi connection), we have found Skype to work quite well on 56k modem lines (even as low as 33.6k, especially since Skype for Windows V2.5.0.122). If you are using a slow line, the sound quality will be marginal at first - wait for 20-30 seconds until Skype switches to lower bandwidth.

I'm a light to moderate user seeking a good value service for basic usage in this area primarily. I've been using MagicJack with less than satisfactory results. Do incoming calls count against the total for all voips?

What type of broadband internet do you have? Make sure whatever it is that it meets the minimum speed requirement of MagicJack. Consider installing a meter on your bandwidth to see if other processes on your computer are taking over your internet connection while you are on a phone call. It's best if you are not surfing the internet, downloading, etc. while using the phone. Also, have you tried Skype? You can make free phone calls to other Skype users to see if the quality is better for you. If it is, you can purchase packages to call actual telephone numbers and even buy a telephone-like device to attach to your computer, if you prefer that.
